Flash HyperOS on Xiaomi 14 / 14 Pro using Fastboot
The all-new HyperOS is based on the Android 14 operating system out of the box and includes plenty of goodies, improved performance, enhanced security with hardware-level integration, dynamic visuals, and more. It’s meant to be an optimized version of MIUI without unnecessary bloatware and bugs that have ruined the user experience in the last couple of years. But not anymore!
It’s recommended to use any of the methods like TWRP Recovery or Fastboot to flash the firmware. Do keep in mind that both methods will wipe off all the data from your device. So, make sure to take a complete data backup from the device before getting into the steps.
Warning: GetDroidTips won’t be held responsible for any kind of issue or error that might happen while/after following the steps below. You should know what you’re doing. So, do it at your own risk.
Requirements:
Step 1: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
First, you’ll have to turn on USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your Xiaomi device by following the steps below. By doing so, your device will be recognized by the computer and you’ll be able to proceed further in the Fastboot method. To do so:
- Open Settings on your Xiaomi 14 / 14 Pro.
- Go to About Phone > Tap on the MIUI version 7 times.
- It’ll enable the Developer Options menu on the handset.
- Now, go back to Settings menu > Search for Developer Options and open it.
- Enable the USB Debugging option.
- Turn On the OEM Unlock toggle > Hit Enable to confirm.
Step 2: Unlock Bootloader
It’s highly important to unlock the device bootloader as stock ROMs do come with a locked bootloader to ensure data privacy. As this is considered to be an unofficial ROM (custom ROM), you will need to unlock the device’s bootloader. Once unlocked, the system and data on your handset will become less secure & will be prone to malware attacks. Additionally, some internal features might not work properly such as Find device, added-value services, etc. Do keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader can also void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Download the Mi Unlock Tool on your computer.
- Extract the zip file and run the application.
- Now, sign in with your Mi Account. [You can also create a new one]
- Switch Off your phone manually > Long-press the Volume Down+Power buttons for a while.
- This will allow the handset to enter Fastboot mode.
- Next, connect your smartphone to the PC via a USB cable.
- Once the Mi Unlock Tool detects your connected handset, it’ll notify you.
- Click on Unlock and wait for it to complete.
- A confirmation pop-up will appear > Click on the Unlock anyway button.
- Your device data and settings will be wiped off.
- The unlocking process will take a while to complete.
- Once done, you’ll get a message that says “Unlocked successfully”.
- Finally, click on the Reboot phone button to restart your device.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the handset.
Step 3: Download Xiaomi HyperOS ROM
Next, you can select and download the latest Xiaomi HyperOS ROM for your respective device model using the links below such as Xiaomi 14 or Xiaomi 14 Pro. The HyperOS Weekly and Stable ROM links are mentioned below where you can either go with the weekly release updates or the stable one. Generally, stable builds are much better in performance with minimum bugs.
Here we’ll go with the weekly release because the stable release firmware isn’t available at the time of writing this article. If you find a stable release, go with it.
